The third is edge, the courage to make tough yes-or-no decisions. The fourth E is execute—the ability to get the job done.

“You Snooze, You Lose
Study after study shows that the most successful people are decisive and quick to act. They do not procrastinate, over-analyze, waffle or agonize over decisions. They are able to make quick decisions because they are certain, clear and congruent in their beliefs (such as values), purpose and vision. When a person is clear, centered and developed, right decision and action are easy. It does not mean their decisions always work out, but they are just as decisive in cutting their losses or changing course when a previous decision turns out to be poor.”

Life is not about the destination. It is about the journey. The moment by moment life we create and experience.”
